What stole the show for me was their take on the dot cake trend with tres leches which was phenomenal. While the interior itself is a little small they also have an enclosed patio where you can enjoy your food complete with air conditioning. Overall definitely recommend Con Salsa and as a pro-tip don't skip out on desert here!

Service was super quick and the arepa was absolutely delicious - I got the avocado, beans, cheese arepa which had so much flavor.

It was very flavorful with the sauce, but also quite oily. The churro was freshly made and hot when it came out. It was sweet, crunchy and very delightful. The only other negative is they don't have water so you have to get a bottled water for $1. Staff was nice and the inside was good. Overall I had a good experience and would come again.

I still didn't know what my topping options were for them. Luckily after looking at the menu, their website, Yelp, and google images I was finally able to figure out what I wanted (too much work lol). I landed on the Pabellon Arepa which had shredded beef, black beans, cheese and plantains.... They deffffffffff needed to strain them black beans a lot more and distribute the ingredients more because it wasn't just messy, it was atomic bomb messy. I needed 100 napkins and a knife and fork to get through it. It was pretty tasty though! My hubs got the pulled pork with avocado, def not as messy and it was pretty good. We also got the cheese sticks appetizer, I would say this was just okay. It was their take on mozzarella sticks essentially. My friend ordered the Cachapas Richmonder.... It was SO SO GOOD! We all took a bite and were wowed by how good it was! She definitely won in the food ordering. I would get that next time and highly recommend it to anyone! Overall it was really good! We were all satisfied!

The homemade sauces were a standout too--the green sauce and hot sauce were both incredible and took the arepa to the next level. You can really tell they put care into their food. Definitely coming back whenever I'm craving an arepa. Highly recommend!

I've tried the Tequeños, arepas, empanadas, cachapas, and the plantain sandwich, and every single one has been worth it. It's tucked next to a gas station, which adds to the charm. Parking's a bit unpredictable, so I usually park across the street and walk over. Easy enough. The hostess is lovely. Welcoming, helpful, and always spot on with her suggestions. Whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go, Chamo's is one of those places that makes you feel good about coming back. Time for another visit.

Food was totally amazing, I would definitely order from here again…read more We've had their truck food and had some delivered and both were great. I've had the pork black beans plantain egg and cheese arepa a few times and it's awesome. I got it recently in bowl form with an arepa on the side and it was a ton of food for the value. My boyfriend had a sliced steak arepa maybe with avocado and it was also very good. The empanadas are also amazing!! Food is knockout and the arepas are stuffed full for what you pay. So good. Definitely would order again!

I didn't know what to expect but we decided to try their Pabellon beef bowl and the beef and pork empanadas. Everything came out quick and the empanadas seemed to have been made to order and were hot when brought out to us. The empanadas were crispy, hot, and full of meat filling. The Pabellon bowl came with an arepa on the side. It was our first times having arepa and we enjoyed the saltiness flavor of it. The denseness of the arepa was a new experience for the both of us, it's something that you just have to try for yourself! The bowl goes well with the light, creamy sauce that is brought out with it. The staff are kind and helpful, glad to have been able to support a local business in Charlottesville!

The name of this market has been changed to: Cielito Lindo, which is a popular Spanish song and…read moreroughly translated means "Lovely Sweet One" although "cielo" means heaven and "lindo" means pretty - combined this phrase is typically a term of endearment. This tidy little Latino market carries many Hispanic, Mexican and South American products. Being of Cuban descent, I frequently head to this site for Goya products, including rice, black beans, plantains, Adobo spices, coffee, Maria cookies, fresh fruits and veggies, tomato items, empanada shells and my "never be without" Mojo Criollo Goya marinade. This marinade truly is the spice of life and I use it in many of my recipes! You will also find baked goods, household items, and sundries at this store. There's a deli/butcher in the back and a frozen food section. There's also a small restaurant and pupuseria serving Latin fare, from Cuban sandwiches to tacos to tostones to tamales to yucca to soups/sides and more. They serve Cuban coffee, horchata, Latin sodas, and other drinks and some tempting desserts, like flan and tres leches cake. For an inexpensive, quick bite in a casual, no nonsense eatery with lots of festive atmosphere, you've gotta try Cielito Lindo, it really is "a slice of heaven". And not to worry if you don't speak Spanish, some of the folks there speak English. ¡Provecho!

Our order took slightly longer than expected, but it was served with a warm smile. My shrimp and his carne asada was cooked a little too long, but the spices were done right. The avocado on the salad was too hard, not ripe. They don't give you much salsa for your chips. I've had better pupusas, but theirs were decent. Probably wouldn't go back, because there's better Latino food to be had elsewhere, and I'm never on southside.

This Caribbean restaurant has an excellent vibe with many different seating areas, a full bar, and large TV screens featuring a variety of sports.

Everything arrived to the table hot and the dishes were very flavorful. Happy hour offered $3 imported bottled beer and margaritas at $5.99. Birthday toasts with Presidente beer and passion fruit and mango margaritas. We highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. They offer dine-in and to go, as well as catering. We'll be sharing this find with several friends who love Caribbean cuisine. We will definitely keep the catering option in mind for the upcoming holidays!
